Doomed New Clothes: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', the titular character is at one point given a new cashmere coat to wear while out in town doing errands. Cue lampshade hanging en masse by everyone he meets. He does a spectacular job of dodging hazards, but then ends up jumping in a pond to save a friend of his master.

* In ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' Oz gives his wibbly little servant Gilbert a nice new set of white clothes to wear at Oz's coming of age ceremony. Oz himself is wearing a splendid white outfit just for the occasion. During the ceremony, both Oz and Gilbert (mostly Gilbert) end up bloody (shows up nicely on white) before Oz takes a tumble into a very special hell.

* The new outfit Lucy gets during the middle of any given ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' arc will almost inevitably end up more shredded than the one she'd been replacing due to damage.

 

* [[Judy Garland]] in ''In The Good Old Summertime''. It's not bad enough that she's carrying a parasol on a windy day, she has to get knocked over by a guy as part of a [[Meet Cute]] as well. Note that this can cross over with the old umbrella-getting-turned-inside-out gag (which should have its own trope) for added pathos.

* Crossover with [[Fur and Loathing]] in the film ''It Could Happen to You''. The bitchy wife, who just became a [[Rich Bitch]], buys a fur coat, and as soon as she gets out of the store, her coat gets hit with red paint.

* In ''[[Dogma]]'' the angel Metatron seems to complain about his clothes getting ruined. When it happens one time, he reaches over and uses God's dress to wipe something off his clothes. She's not too happy about that. (Yes, it's a comedy).
